Fisheries

It is impossible to overstate the importance of Southeast Alaska’s marine life. Loss of species density is devastating to our economy, our way of life, and our ability to sustain life itself. Changing weather patterns, ocean health, and resource use all play important roles in the overall vitality of our marine environment. HSC will work with marine biologists, commercial fishery, and Indigenous authorities to identifying and assess data needs. We will develop programs for high school students, indigenous youth, and university degree candidates that target culturally and biologically significant goals.
